Returning Home

A start of a new year,
After the distance, the falling away
Of the summer days, together again
Singing, praying, listening
A stronger voice than a year ago
Reaching deeper, speaking clearer,
More tested, more sure, of the audience
A larger gathering, a greater unity
Of the congregation, in gathering
In returning home today
Old friends, new family,
Wrapping arms in greeting,
in catching up with one another
in fellowship again
This Sunday morning
